Ed and Joe,
I'm actually having fun reading what you both have to say. Here is my
definition of the difference between science and technology. A scientist
explores the universe by making observations and then formulating testable
hypotheses based upon these observations. These hypotheses are tested using
tools such as tape measures, laser rangefinders and especially mathematics.
Technology is the practical application of science. So an engineer may build a
bridge using the same tools that the scientist used. The difference between a
scientist and an engineer is not the tools that they use, but it is in how they
use them.
